    Great video, thanks! For me, there are two reasons the paddle shifters are needed. 1). If you drive in the mountains, it is the only way to manually downshift and upshift the L405 to manage downhill speed (To avoid brake overheating) and uphill torque. 2). If one off-roads in the L405, the paddle shifters enable the driver (In sport mode) to hold a gear to add additional control of speed and torque.

    Thanks for the honesty on the unreliability bit. That is so true. My sister-in-law and at least two friends I know own this monster. While the early years were relatively fine, eventually they were beyond pissed with the extreme unreliability. Don't understand why such a heavyweight brand cannot solve this perennial issue.

    If you regularly maintain them, ask your garage to carry out any preventive maintainence when servicing them, they are actually very realible cars. We have had a sport as our family car for 5 years now, the longest we've keep any car and we love it!

    • @Pablo-bp3dq

      @@DylansCarReviews I agree with you, the other issue I've noticed is that you can find they are affordable on a finance deal but not necessarily affordable are the running costs and thats when maintenance can be overlooked! We bought our car outright so have the budget to keep it up together.
      I was very, very tempted by a 355 until I watched thecarguys video and realised buying it wasn't the issue...running it was! That's why I think a well spec'd 997 is the way forward 😎

    Currently driving an L322 2010 but I have owned all the variants from an ex police 2 door to a classic LSE with air suspension. I am surprised you question the paddles, I often switch to sport and use manual gear select on difficult hills or when off road. Mind you I do real off road driving not just green lane outings. A good tip is to use sport mode on pot holed country lanes as the ride is smoother and you get a bit more throttle control to make the journey more relaxed.

      I think the thing other people don't understand is they need parts, that doesn't make them unreliable, they have expensive consumables cos they weight ~3 tonnes. It's super rare to have a range rover or even a land rover actually "break down" they are full of redundancies .

      @ianbeale2527 4 роки тому

      And this is the thing..................most people come on here to slag off a vehicle perceived as being unreliable.You never get to hear the positive experiences, do you .
      My sister has an Evoque - it's been plagued with problems, I own a Freelander 2 HSE and it's been nothing but ultra reliable.
      While she would tell everyone not to touch the brand with a barge pole on social media, she wouldn't do the opposite had she not had those problems (always software related). I don't feel the need to harp on about how how reliable my Land Rover has been (143,000 miles and counting) and that's my point. You only hear the negatives, which, like Chinese whispers , pick up momentum and ends up being damning to the point that the average dickhead down the pub, who's never owned a JLR vehicle, is an instant expert on how totally unreliable they are with absolutely no more experience of the vehicle than the first person who overheard a conversation about "how Dave's had to take his RR back 3 times this year".
      Toyota have a mystical legendary reliability reputation. It's usually mentioned in the same breath as JLR's now legendary unreliability. People seem to have a very short memory. Remember the recalls that led to 8 million Toyota's being recalled in 2010 ? The 89 people that lost their lives ? No ? Again, short memories. But indicative of the power of perception . Tell people something enough times,and eventually it becomes lore, despite the fact it isn't.
      Go on ANY car forum. ANY. What you'll see is the same thing over and over again. Enthusiasts who absolutely love the brand and cannot be swayed by negativity for that particular car brand, be it Ford, Vauxhall, Nissan -whatever. Then there are the "owners" to whom brand loyalty isn't really a thing, they just bought a particular vehicle. Then see how many of these people bemoan that brand for host of reasons due to unreliability of certain things that never seem to get addressed by the manufacturer. Don't take my word for it. Do it. You'll also notice there are no threads about reliability, apart from people stating their's "has been fine".
      Again, type in any vehicle brand and look for their lists of recalls. It's shocking - all across the board...............
      Yes, JLR really need their arses kicking. But do those searches I mention, and you'll be surprised how many other "reliable" brands do too.

    I have two friends who bought new range rovers a couple of years ago and they are both equally delighted, also with no problems.
    You can only speak as you find.
    I guess a 10-year-old one would have broken bits but then that applies to any make of car on the market - they all start to wear out after six years.
    Personally, I’m not convinced that Land Rover products are any worse than anything else.
    Hope I’m right.

    I think 900mm is higher than the wheels if you measure it i recently also I went through a metre in recent floods no issues, the choice of terrain is there if you know what your doing if not you leave it in auto set it will do it for you I think you sussed that in the end. No idea how you manage to wipe your sat nav in reverse never happens normally. Door handles are for access from the front not the edge so you don't need to damage your little pinkies. Would say not had many reliability issue over 30 years of ownership they are normally due to peeps thinking they can run them on shoe string budgets. Generally a good review though

    I’d always recommend buying an older RR. In the U.K. there are loads of good independent specialists but they don’t to get their hands on the newer models until they are out of warranty. Buy a five year old, lowish mileage and become friends with your local independent garage. Preventative maintenance is better than using the standard RR service schedule.

    A few points:
    1. The dual view screen has been discontinued from currents Range Rovers.
    2. You may feel that the paddles are a gimmick, but I use mine daily. I might not even be unique in this.
    3. Remove those ridiculous 22” rims and fit some 20’s and not only will it be a lot more off road capable, but the ride and the tramlining that they’re vulnerable to will improve immensely.
    4. Please get some off road training in one (even try one of LR’s own training days) and then come back and make some, well informed, comments about wading in one 👍

    Good vid. I’ve owned a few Range Rovers. Only one was a problem child partly down to age and prior owner did do all the serviceing but didn’t in other ways. And I had to let that one go. I’m looking at getting another one but newer and lower mileage and following the rule of buying one Full service history and looked after. Personally bar the one bad egg I’ve found them to be Much more reliable than I expected from the rep, I also enjoyed doing some of the mantanace myself witch is the best way to make it more affordable and if competent at mantanace probably better looked after than most garages, and as a owner you won’t get ripped off. But saying that still it’s a premium car and some parts are premium priced and isn’t a budget car. But I think Range Rovers get a very bad rep due to being abused or being run on a shoe string budget. Key is mantanace and expect things like sensors can go Wong but that can happen as much on a Toyota. Also I found with my tdv8 4.4 I was getting around 40+ mpg and mid 30 around town but that could be down to driving style. But I may be biased but RR is in my top picks of realistic cars to own but isn’t for everyone.

Argued that obvious faults (usually air suspension) did not exist until I insisted the workshop manager came out with me. Had a stereo fault which they kept blaming on Apple until I found a JLR service bulletin which addressed the issue, but they still tried to avoid fixing the fault under warranty. I suspect a general order to deny faults and avoid warranty costs. Had Audis - brilliant after sales, never argue, call to see how you are getting; shame the Q7 is such a monster.

    The centre stack display technology is termed "Dual View" and uses a parallax barrier technology to display a different image to driver and passenger.
    Too lengthy to explain here in detail but essentially the driver sees all odd columns of pixels and the passenger all even columns of pixels. The drivers image is, therefore, displayed on all odd columns of pixels and the passenger image on all even columns of pixels. The parallax barrier obscures the driver's view of all even columns and the passenger's view of all odd columns such that only the intended image is visible from each side.

    I recently owned a 2017 Range Rover sport autobiography 5.0 v8 a £93,000 car new that come with factory fitted extras by Land Rover (upgrade sound system,head up display & full panoramic sunroof) after a short time a piece of rubber jammed in the panoramic sunroof so as car was under Land Rover warranty I took it to a main dealership (Stockton-on-Tees) and was told the full roof would need replacing. I said go ahead the car is under warranty but guess what they come back & said that part was not covered ? They Fitted It ! I complained to ceo of Land Rover and got no help whatsoever. SO BEWARE warranty not worth the paper it is written on ! ! ! Ps: update I took car to another dealership & rubber was sorted NO new roof needed at all. I sold car as disgusted with Land Rovers attitude including the ceo

    Guys its clear to see you have not used a Range rover before in the countryside or for country life, for crossing a river = just raise the car up using the suspension ( and also great for attaching a trailer thats too heavy to lift by hand our when you want it to stay level). Black alloys etc is for drug dealers ( new money), 22s are too big, 19s work a lot better and give a better ride, The Paddle shifters etc are for when you want more control off road or are towing something really heavy say a 10 tonnes etc and you want more control over the gearing so you always have the power when you need it (ive used them for that). Hope this clears things up.

    Incidentally the seat button on the side of the front passenger seat is for the rear passenger to move the seat forward for more leg room, it is load sensitive, so if someone is sat in it it won't move.
    Also the child lock button for the rear windows also locks out heated seats and rear seat tilt etc etc.

    Best or worst depends upon the owner, I’ve heard so many people complain of issues but when you find out how they treat the car you soon realise they have issues with everything not just cars let alone range rovers. The suspension issue is quite often down to the drive using it,for very short journeys and never allowing the system to replenish therefore the inevitable collapse fault becoming a regular visitor.. those same journeys don’t allow the engine or transmission to get up to any operating temperature, the interior never gets rid of all the condensations etc etc

    The button on the side of the seat is for the rear passenger to slide the seat forward if they require more room. You are operating the door catch the wrong way around, that’s why there is a large hole to put your fingers through, no more broken nails.

    If you’re really worried about problems, buy a 3 year old one, about £50k cheaper than new, and take extended warranty from LR. £700 a year, if you have one serious issue, it will pay for itself. Which is £2 a day. Less than the price of a coffee. I had a RRS 5.0 Supercharged, never had a single problem in 4 years, bought it when it was 4 year old.

  • @huwfish
    @huwfish 5 років тому

    I have watched the video and find there are a couple of inaccuracies. The split tailgate you show with James Martin is a Discovery 4 and not a Range Rover. The blacked out car you show an image of is a Sport, not a Vogue. The switch on the side of the passenger chair is (or should be) disabled when the seat is being used. The reason for this on the older cars is for the driver to be able to move the seat forward to allow more room if you are chauffeuring a rear seat passenger. On later cars this movement is controlled by the lower touch screen. I have a 2017 4.4 SDV8 having owned a Disco 3 and 4 and the engine, despite being old by today's standards is so much nicer than the V6. I agree the perceived reliability is poor but the reality is that I have never been stuck at the side of the road in 14 years of ownership of the brand. My car has clear windows and 21" LWB wheels which I think look classy and the tyres are much better value than the 22's. I also have the side vents which are from the SVA kit (Genuine) and the LWB front grill. To the uninitiated it looks entirely stock but it's only mine that looks like it does. No bling and no black. As a tow car for my 2500kg caravan it's superb, as a family car it's unbeatable. You can keep your RR/Bentley bling as they are just hideous to look at and are an "Emperors new clothes" of a car! Full Fat Range Rovers rule OK.
